Java applet text is still mangled when applets are run from netscape 4.6.1
that was installed with redhat 6.1. Applet text is completely unreadable.
I followed the instructions given on the errata page (adding the scalable
75 point font using chkfontpath --add) but that did not remedy the
situation. Even though the chkfontpath man page says that it restarts xfs
I restarted it manually via /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart and that didn't
help either.
I'm not sitting at the machine right now, but if you need additional
information please email questions to wkuhn@biostat.ufl.edu.
Oh, one other thing that was weird about netscape is having to set the
CLASSPATH. I don't recall having to do that in previous installations of
netscape on linux. Is that something new?
Thanks.

What I was asking for was an example applet that caused the
font corruption, so we could try and duplicate it here.
Then again, if it's a netscape problem, the chances of
getting it fixed aren't very good.

Hi. I have followed all the instructions concerning about fonts.
I tried to make the changes in Netscape versions 4.61 - 4.72, none of them were
successful.
If you want to try a "crash site", go to:

happens).
Thank's

Hi,
I made the tests in 2 different computers. One of them have a multimedia system
and another one doesn't.
On the first computer I have installed many plugins, including flash but, on the
second one, I have installed nothing.
In both cases that site crashes! I have installed the rpm package from RedHat
_and_ the tar.gz packet from Netscape (of course, when I installed one, I
uninstalled the other) from the various Netscape versions. None of them were
successful. It's really weird what is going on with Netscape.
Anyway, thank you for your cooperation ;)
Marcos
